Today was one of those days.  You know the kind.  The day that’s a little reminder of the reason you wanted to teach in the first place.

Learning.

The kind of day where the kids climb each other’s questions like little ladders trying to reach a mountain peak.

The discussions we had today? They were the kind of discussions that don’t end with one right answer. The kind that make your head spin from thinking about new possibilities.  The kind where you’re no longer “managing” your classroom, because it’s no longer even necessary.  Not because the kids are out of control, but because they are in complete control.

They are in control of their learning.

You? You’re just lucky enough to be along for the ride.
